Most hypnotherapists work with pain problem primarily in conjunction with appropriate healing arts professionals. This is because pain often is a symptom of a problem rather than the problem itself. A headache might be migraine; it also might be a brain tumor. A medical diagnosis is important.

However, properly used hypnosis can reduce pain, alleviate anxiety, remove fears of dentistry or surgery, eliminate or reduce the need for injections or other applications of chemical anesthesia, promote comfort and healing and expedite recovery. It is becoming more common in dentistry, obstetrics, burn treatment and emergency room trauma.

In accomplishing the above it is evident that hypnotherapy can prove dramatically effective in dealing with medically-related stress situations.

Fear reactions may range from simple "hang-ups" to specific (or non-specific) fears which affect the activities or enjoyment of life, to full-blown phobias which may be a part of serious mental illness. Under certain cirtumstances or in specific situations virtually all people experience a variety of rational or irrational apprehensions. Fears seldom travel alone. One may be dominant, but usually several may be present.

Fears often emanate from apprehension of impending danger. Fear of loss of control is primitive, but also common, especially in phobia cases. Fear of fear itself can be debilitating. Hypnotic suggestions can replace catastophic thoughts with truthful facts explaining exisiting problems. Exposing the causes can diminish anxieties and alleviate symptoms, relieving distress.

Being able to think and act positively is achieved through an awareness of being in control. The positive attitudes which are elements are vital factors in the achievement of success. The individual who feels in control of life, events, emotions and personal progress is relatively free from problems involving stress, anxiety, fear, inadequacy and other characteristics of "out-of-control" people.

Hypnosis can create or enhance the confidence, assuredness and sense of personal competence that go with being in control. Self-doubt, negative imprints from events in childhood, effects of past failures can be converted to positive, aggressive outlooks and awareness of control. Hypnotherapists can implant cues to reinforce suggestions of power and strength, resulting in the complete turnaround of lives and fortunes.

Self-esteem and self-confidence are essential to human progress. Self-esteem is fundamental to friendships, work, love relationships, ambitions and goals - even health itself. A person must like, respect and admire the person he/she sees in the mirror. Self-confidence is necessary to achievement; however, it requires self-esteem to be effective.

Life events, in childhood or adult years, can damage the self-esteem and destroy confidence in anyone. The chances of reaching one's full potential thus can be minimized. Past negative programming from judgemental parents, teachers, relatives or peers can inhibit progress. But hypnotherapy and hypnoanalysis can reveal the causes, create understanding and modify self-doubts and beliefs, enabling individual potentials to be achieved.

Hypnosis is a method of mental programming. It is not sleep. It is not unconsciousness. It is not a giving up control. It is actually an altered state of highly focused consciousness in which the conscious mind is by-passed and access is achieved directly to the sunconscious mind.

The subcounscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind. It is the seat of all memory, and through it can be accessed memories, emotions, and events long since supressed, repressed or forgotten by the conscious mind. Through the subconscious mind can be revealed facts, information and causes of feelings, behaviors and attitudes which in turn can be created, strengthened, modified or eliminated according to the client's needs.

Thank you, Ms. Rivinson, for all your help. I liked my session with you a lot, as well as your cozy office (especially your recliner chair :-)). I do feel the difference. Now I'm much more confident, and I know that I will be successful in my dancing career. Thanks again!
